How can anyone think using private money to build hospitals and schools is a good idea? As far as I can see the reasons not to are screamingly obvious and pretty irrefutable - am i missing something?

If it's private, it's an investment. If it's an investment, they'll give money now in return for more money later. If they want more money later, it'll have to come from the taxpayer. Ergo, the total cost to the taxpayer in the long term is greater with PFI.

Is this not the bleeding obvious?

This comment appears as "anonymous" and there's no identifying information. - I'd like posts in this journal to have some sort of identity, even if that's not an LJ name. Sorry.

That's up to you - but as a non-LJ user there is no alternative to putting 'anonymous'.

Counterexample

But if you want to participate in LJ, why not join? I have invite codes, if I know you you're probably welcome to one.
